For those whoāve been consideringā¦. The Kindle Colorsoft has a major manufacturing defect. Not sure if itās hardware (likely) or software (nah) but itās annoying. If you can check the screen out in-person before purchasing, I suggest you do so. Or buy from a reputable dealer that offers a no questions asked return policy, like Amazon or Best Buy. (Look at the yellow streak along the bottom of the reader just above the bezel.)
@amarand oh man. I am a Kindle enthusiast and I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of color e-ink. So Iām thinking I ought to wait it out a while longer.
Note that Iāve owned my Oasis since it came out and the only issue is (expected) battery life degradation. Other than that, itās been perfect. I wanted the Colorsoft to be perfect too, but it clearly isnāt.
